MattyB Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 You definitely need the new cable. There are two cable connectors on the motherboard. One is for the 60Hz panel and the other for the 120Hz and you cannot use the 60hz cable for the 120hz display. The emitter should be part of the LCD panel, well it was on the M17x R4.

MattyB Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 There are two LCD connectors on the bottom left of that picture. The connector with the mounting holes either side is for the 120Hz cable. I can't confirm on your other question but I can't see the prema BIOS being an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
